[compost_tea] Re: soil chemistry facts
The insights from your work with Graham Lancaster are
fascinating, Elaine, thanks for sharing.
In the late 1980s Eric Kindberg, an organic farmer
who lived here in Arkansas, was the U.S. distributor
for the Keyline Chisel Plow, also known as the
Yeoman's Slipper Imp in the early days.
Yeomans likewise said that soils are full of phosphates
but are locked up and need soil biology -- thru humus
farming practices that feed the soil; i.e., composting,
cover crops, pasture grazing, subsoiling -- to solubilize
the phosphates and make P available.
There might be a paper from his work in Australia
that you can also draw from.
